Just have to recommend this. We used Cheddar.

Thanks Tim. Getting pretty desperate here for ways to serve them yet again. ;D

And. of course, her Marinated Courgettes in Herb Vinaigrette? Family love it.

I love Cs sliced thinly, longly, & 'chargrilled' (in a ribbed pan) with this & that.

Well they ate it and BW even ventured to say he enjoyed it :o. I loved it.
Will try the herb vinigarette next. Hot favourite here and at Daughter 1's (I always make extra for them) is courgettes (yellow for preference) sliced and topped with bread crumbs and cheese mixed and shoved in the oven 'til crispy.

Looks yum  :P but did you bother with the salting bit?  Not sure i could be bothered with all that hassle (esp if the courg's are young?)

Nice looking recipe and well worth remembering.  Courgettes are starting to slow down a bit, just a toms have finally started to ripen!!

This is my fave courgette find for this year, courtesy of the Daily Telegraph. It's a wonderful; mix of textures and flavours.  My son likes it so much he cooked it at school!!

•  PASTA, COURGETTES AND PINE NUTS
Serves 2
•  6oz/170g good-quality tagliatelle - the fresh stuff from Sainsburys is good, and cooks in a couple of minutes
•  3 courgettes
•  1oz/30g butter
•  4 tbsp pine nuts
•  1 clove of garlic, crushed
•  A few sprigs of young thyme, leaves only (Though I use Basil instead)
•  3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan

Use a potato peeler to shave the courgettes into ribbons.
Heat the butter in a large pan and add the pine nuts. Cook until golden brown, then stir in the courgettes, garlic and herbs.
Cook the tagliatelle according to the packet instructions.
Top with grated fresh Parmesan and add salt and pepper if the dish needs it.
Eat straight away.

One tip, as this all cooks so quickly, do all the preparation first, and get the water almost to boiling before you start cooking.

Fresh ouit of Pine Nuts!!  Lucky we have a Julian Graves nearby.

And  a variation on yours, Maggie - I don't do the salad.
